When it started those 50 years ago it was a small paper booklet, ONLY for juniors <21?23?? and valid for 1 month of unlimited train travel in West-Europe-except your own country (the walls firmly stood and communism was much alife-those countries all wanted visums and other complicated entry procedures) but then also Turkey and Morocco! Price around 111€ in todays money.
Hence likely the still so often seen wish to reach places like Istanbul and the Greek isles-but at those times even Marrakesh!

Yet another of the countless ways baby boomers have somehow managed to live through every stage of life at the optimum moment 
Very little in the way of obligatory reservations either - am I right in thinking it was just night trains back then?
